reread my application, explored Penn State's website,

What impressed you positively?

Lots of different types of people; everyone seemed to really like going to school there and working there; they worked hard to sell the school to us and to make us feel relaxed; we were escorted from place to place so we didn't have to worry about getting lost.

What impressed you negatively?

It's more rural than I'm used to and tuition is very expensive
